FAIVELEY MERCUREY 2021 Vieilles Vignes Rouge (Burgundy, FR)

No one, outside of the growers who have long resided in the village itself, has deeper roots (as it were) in the Cote Chalonnaise village of Mercurey than Domaine Faiveley. This Vieilles Vignes red is sort of a Reserve-level wine with not only the oldest vines but also the best exposures combined to make a more nuanced, complex wine with Mercurey’s textbook depth, spiciness and concentration on display.
